Join us while we explore some of our wonderful parks as we learn about the health benefits of Nordic Walking.

Nordic walking reduces pressure on your joints with the poles providing propulsion making you feel lighter on your feet. It's suitable for all abilities and poles will be provided on the day.

Each session will include information and training on the use of Nordic Poles and a guided walk. For more information about our Nordic Walking Programme, please view the video here.

Registration is not required, you can just come along. For more information, please contact us via E. more@antrimandnewtownabbey.gov.uk
